There is absolutely NO EXCUSE for a grown man to slam a 12-year old girl face first int a brick walkway for ARGUING with another student. Who is the adult here? I have broken up many an argument between teenage girls using only my voice. Granted, I am somebody’s mother, and I look like somebody’s mother, so the girls…

Yes, like the child she is.

Yes.

Yes.

Schools have a media policy? What a bunch of baloney. I hope you recorded her ass.

Sure, but my son was nearly suspended for three days because he filmed a fight and its aftermath in his high school cafeteria. The principal explained that it was a violation of their “media policy” and she didn’t want the school’s reputation to be harmed. I spent about two hours negotiating her out of it.

That is why teachers are trained to deal with kids this age. Where is the teacher?

“two students became verbally aggressive toward each other” and then the police modeled how to efficiently and unnecessarily escalate a confrontation from verbal to physical. On a child. Remind me again how important it is to have police officers on K12 campuses?

I’m glad everyone has a video camera with them at all times now. This stuff has always gone on. Now we know about it.

Police are not good tools of discipline at a school. They often cause the situation to escalate instead of calm down. It takes a different skill set to handle discipline and maintaining order in schools. Middle school is rough and trying.

The cop thinks he's a tough guy because he's a cop, but in reality he lacks the skills to manage a 12 year old girl. Bravo Officer Toughguy! Bra-fucking-vo.

He tossed that child down face first on a fucking BRICK floor.

She had to have been. And I’m sure they didn’t get her any medical attention.

“This video is very concerning, and we are working to get all of the details,”

are investigating a possible case of excessive force

FFS. Nothing clever. JUST FFS. What the ever-loving HELL.

Common mistake. See, it’s only “illegal” if you can pay for the rape kit that better have DNA, and have so many injuries that it looks like you were dropped off a 3 story building. And even then it’s “he said, she said” issue, depending on what you were wearing at the time and whether the “rapist” is someone you might…

That should be the title of his future biography.

All. Of. It.

Not the shero we deserve... the shero we need.
